Hi Rae,

I realise this is an old message and this may be way off base but here are my thoughts on where these McMahon's might be from.

From what I gather here and from other messages that you have posted elsewhere this is the timeline we are dealing with:

 - Patrick McMahon (married to Helen Collins)
 - Son Michael McMahon (b~ 1799 married Catherine Griffin)
 - Their Son Patrick McMahon (b~  1836)
 - Michael & Patrick McMahon emigrated to Australia ~ 1850 -1860.

It is possible that Patrick McMahon was from the townland of Capparoe, Tomgraney (land owner in 1827). There are only 2 Collins listed in the Applottment Books in Tomgraney & 1 in the Griffith Valuation. Patrick Collins is a land owner in the townland of Coolagoree, Tomgraney which is only a mile from where Partick McMahon would have lived. Similarly, the only Griffins listed in the Griffith Valuation in Tomgraney are in the townland of Fossamore which is also only a mile from where Patrick McMahon lived.

There are no McMahon's listed in Capparoe in the Griffith Valuation so its possible that this may be a result of Michael and Patrick emigrating in 1850's?

From my point of view I believe that the Patrick McMahon that I mention here from Capparoe is possibly a brother to my ggg grandfather John McMahon. John was a land owner across the river in the neighbouring townland of Core, parish of Feakle in the early 1800's. Most of the families in Core at this time look to have origins in Tomgraney. Also all my family back to my gg grandfather at least are buried in Tomgraney.

This is all just speculation but if you have any more recent thoughts on this let me know.

Regards,
Noel McMahon.

NOEL-


I believe somehow these McMahon's are somehow part of my husband's family. 

James Fitzgerald (1802-1869) married Catherine McMahon on 18 Apr 1842 in Shanagolden in Limerick Co

They had many children. One being:

Michael McMahon Fitzgerald (our relative) immigrated to Australia.  He married Bridget Sharkey from Ireland in 1891 in Victoria Australia.


I have had some difficulty getting the Ireland information on the McMahon/Fitzgerald Family. I have information organized on ancestry tat I can screen shot and attach or email.

Let me know if you are familiar with any of these names.

Thanks
Tina

Hi Tina,

Good to hear from you. All I have from this potential branch of the family is what is above. It's only speculation given the information I have and knowledge of the local area. Send you on what you have and I can reply with my family tree. I have no record of a Carherine McMahon but given she was born around 1800 and moved to Limerick that's not surprising.

I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address.

Regards,
Noel.
